I'll probably go on Saturday, just curious if anyone else is going..

Maybe a bunch of us meet up for lunch before or after, etc??

Nikki · 11-19-2007, 05:40 PM

Yeah I will be going, especially since it is right next to my house :P
AAA members get a decent discount on one of the nights, so I might do that.

Josh49 · 11-19-2007, 10:30 PM

Wahoo!!!!!!!!!! BOSTON PEOPLE RESPONDING!!!!

Nikki, I was going to say!! I saw the pic of the place on the website, and I was thinking, "isn't that the place nikki was taking pics of??"

DasBlitz · 11-21-2007, 08:47 PM

I use to go to these every year when i was very young. But after awhile it got old because the auto makers started getting boring and just making what they do now.

The only real interesting thing at these events are the exotics and some concept cars.

I might be interested in going though, haven't been in years. When are you guys going? or am i late again?

TheLegacy · 11-21-2007, 08:49 PM

I might go, I have a friend visiting me so gotta ask her if she wants to come

fotoguy335 · 11-22-2007, 10:32 PM

I will probably go on Wed PM or Thurs PM....
Sat is no good as I have to work till 4pm

Josh49 · 11-26-2007, 11:05 PM

To the top!! Who's going, when are you going, and would you prefer to grab brunch and then go to the show, go to the show, then go get a beer and a late lunch, etc...

Nikki, any good pubs in walking distance??

cgillio · 11-27-2007, 03:56 PM

Hey anyone know if the new 1 is going to be there. I was thinking of maybe going Saturday.

Chris

Nikki · 11-28-2007, 11:08 AM

Saturday evening maybe, I'll see how it goes.

Mr. BMW · 11-29-2007, 12:19 PM

I went last night and took some pic. The M3 is amazing. The 1 series just doesn't do it for me. This show is much better than previous years. The new location is bigger and the cars are more spread out.
Here are some pics.

Mr. BMW · 11-29-2007, 12:23 PM

This was probably my favorite non-BMW car in the show. I had one of these in High school and it brought back memory's. It almost made me cry, ok maybe not that bad

Brunotheboxer · 11-29-2007, 03:21 PM

nice pics. i agree the m3 is sick, while the 135 looks a little weak.

Nikki · 11-29-2007, 04:40 PM

Nice confirmation of the M3, I'm excited

Yeah, I tried to get some better pictures but there were just too many people in the way and the location of the car isn't great.
I imagine that if it had been on the floor and people were allowed to sit in it, there would have been an hour wait to get near it!

Roowah · 12-01-2007, 03:52 PM

Went to the show yesterday and have to agree that the M3 looks very nice. I did think that they could've made the rear a little more aggressive looking. The 1 series was good so see, and from the front and rear looks nice. The side view in my opinion was a bit on the bland side. Glad to see someone had a better camera than me and posted them here. All I had was my crappy cell camera.

On a side note, I liked the auto show at the new convention center vs. at the Bayside Expo. It wasn't too long a walk from South Station. Can't wait to go to go on my annual pilgrimage to the NYC Auto Show. It makes the Boston show look like an afterthought!

jmh · 12-01-2007, 09:15 PM

Took a few pictures at the NE Autoshow and posted them at
